This is an article that appears in the WSJ but is reproduced at FNB, thus you don't have to sign into the WSJ site to read it..

Mr. Soros was cautious about the market going into November and became more bearish immediately after Mr. Trump's election, according to people close to the matter. The stance proved a mistake -- the stock market has rallied on expectations that Mr. Trump's policies will boost corporate earnings and the overall economy.

As a result, some of Mr. Soros's trading positions incurred losses approaching $1 billion, the people say. Mr. Soros adjusted his positions and exited many of his bearish bets late last year, avoiding further losses, the people added.

He is still manipulating the country and looking at the long haul (I hope he dies before then). When he makes country crash, he will make many times more billions shorting everything.

I'm dying to say what's on my mind about Soros, but I'm going to refrain. It's enough to say the emotion of "hate" is very foreign to me, but it does show up from time to time.

Soros doubling down again - probably shorting many markets

I would truly love it if Trump signed an executive order saying there is no justification for shorting stocks and all shorts will be illegal in 2 weeks...

If the above were to happen, which it won't, the stock market would drop more than 50% in EXACTLY 13 DAYS.
